Today 10 years ago I got a Firefox OS phone

Today 10 years ago I went to Poland to buy a Phone with pre installed #Firefox OS on. The Phone was a Alcatel One, so very shitty. Two years later I installed Firefox OS on my Nexus 5 instead.

It was a very good concept, but sadly rolled out on too shitty hardware so it never caught on.

I have a KaiOS phone made by Nokia. As a functional phone, it’s ok only if you just make calls or texts.

I also have a KaiOS phone, to have a dumb phone with Whatsapp. Did you come from the /r/dumbphones community too? ;-)

Nope. I bought it years ago as my spare phone for emergency use.
